Just who is being "defended" here? No free society should take offense to a nonviolent political stand, even unpopular ones. Going after someone like this is not defense. It's attack.

I think a lot of people got their first taste of politics through cable news and never learned the older, more useful vocabulary with words like "disagree" and "challenge."
